Isn't this a standard shot for hardbat guys....I would think it would go back to the early days of TT.

I wrote about this in my blog yesterday.

Thanks Larry but I think there is a youtube video with Marty Reisman (sp?) and someone from his era 40's (I am guessing at the decade here) or earlier demonstrating how they used to do it. So I am thinking it goes way before the the time you are mentioning in your article.

I wrote, "During the hardbat era, this was quite common, as players often chop-blocked." The hardbat era started in the 1920s, long before Reisman became a top player in the late 1940s.

Ok, guess I got confused with the all the names you mentioned in your article were from the 70's and 80's and later.
